Just when we thought we were done with the Harry Potter universe they suck us right back in with this prequel titled, Fantastic Beasts and Where To Find Them – sounds like a euphemism if you ask us.

The film is set seventy years before the adventures of everyone’s favourite bespectacled wizard and his chums Ron Weasley and Hermione Granger. The story follows writer Newt Scamander, played by Eddie Redmayne,  and New York's secret community of witches and wizards. He’s joined by a stellar cast including Colin Farrell, Gemma Chan, Ezra Miller and Ron Perlman. The film is written by J.K. Rowling herself and directed by David Yates, whilst the trailer is a teaser it does looks set to capture the intrigue and magic of the Harry Potter franchise. 

Fantastic Beasts and Where To Find Them will be out on the 18 November next year
